Gadhafi's 3 Point: "Isratine", the "Unjust" UN, and the "Good" Obama

9b79dc57-d6bd-46e1-819c-52f6c26c1e5cOn Wednesday, just after U.S. President Barack Obama's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Libyan ruler Muammar Gadhafi took the stage. Gadhafi highlighted three points: the “unjust” veto system of the UN Security Council; “Isratine,” his solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; and his praise for Barack Obama.

Addressing the veto system, he said, "The preamble (of the charter) says all nations are equal whether they are small or big... The veto is against the charter, we do not accept it and we do not acknowledge it... The Security Council did not provide us with security but with terror and sanctions."

On his Israel-Palestine solution, Gadhafi challenged Israeli settlement of the West Bank and declared:
The solution is a democratic state without religious fanaticism... Everybody should live in peace. Isratine, Isratine is the solution.

And Barack Obama? Gadhafi announced, "The election of Obama is the beginning of change... Other U.S. presidents terrorized my region."
